Summary View help for Summary
This poll is part of a series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of other political and social issues. Respondents were asked to give their opinions on President George W. Bush's handling of foreign and domestic issues, the 2004 presidential election, the situation in Iraq, the nation's economy, and preferences for candidates in the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries. Those polled were asked how closely they were following the race for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination, whether they would vote in a 2004 presidential primary or caucus, and how satisfied they were with the choice of candidates in the Democratic primaries this year. Looking ahead to the 2004 Democratic presidential primaries, respondents were also asked for whom they would vote, which candidate they were leaning toward, and who their second choice might be. A series of questions addressed President Bush's handling of domestic issues like the economy, education, Social Security, prescription drug benefits for the elderly, the environment, the cost of health insurance, homeland security, taxes, the federal budget, creating jobs, gun control, the abortion issue, campaign finance reform, and foreign affairs including the situation in Iraq, the cost of the war, and the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians. Background variables include education, age, religious orientation, urban/rural area of residence, marital status, ethnicity, household income, sex, whether the respondent was registered to vote, whether the respondent voted in the 2000 presidential election, and for whom the respondent voted.
